Join us!
Motherhood is hard. It’s beautiful. It’s trying and defeating some days. We don’t have to do all it alone. YOU are not alone. Let’s lift each other up. We see you. We acknowledge you. We honor you. We celebrate you.
Join us in the 2nd annual Mom Day 5K/10K + Kiddo Dash, supporting maternal mental health on Sunday, May 11, 2025 (Mother’s Day!) at the Westerville Sports Complex (325 N Cleveland Ave, Westerville, OH 43082 ) in beautiful Westerville, Ohio!
WE ARE ADDING A 10k THIS YEAR FOR THOSE PARTICIPANTS WHO WANT A LITTLE MORE DISTANCE!
A gathering for all those affected by pregnancy struggles (miscarriages, stillbirths, hyperemesis Gravidarum, infertility and beyond) and postpartum struggles (anxiety, depression, isolation and beyond). Family members, caregivers, fur moms and all of humankind welcomed! Proceeds raised will be donated to POEM Ohio (Perinatal Outreach and Encouragement for Moms), which offers support, resources, referrals and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood and empowered.
Did you know postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth? More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them, according to POEM. We get to change this, one stride at a time. Together, we are better. Together, we can feel stronger, we can support one another, and we can change the trajectory of postpartum.
